jonny5771 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 the code seems to be alright, can you see any errors when you click the submit. When I upload the file it says the file was uploaded successfully but the title, name, with, height, ect is not displayed in the mysql database. and when I go to the portal all that shows is the id not title ect... so there is a problem with sending the info to the my sql database or something.

AndyB Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 You should retrieve form variables from the $_POST array, not assume they exist globally. For example: $description = $_POST['description']; // retrieve from POSTed variables array Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/66626-help/#findComment-333814 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just one more problem, when I go to the flash portal and click on the submitted flash, a blank screen with nothing on appears. Maybe the vew.php page is coded wrong. could ya please take a look?
